Yay, plagiarism wank!
So, Kantayra is a prolific BTVS/Angel writer.

She writes Spuffy and Spillyria (thanks, marlo) smutfic. Dirty, dirty, smutfic.

She's just learned that she was plagiarized. (Her fic, the scene that was stolen. NWS.) darlawinifred was the "author" in question.

Kantayra posted about this on her journal, just an FYI for other authors, and to vent.

She gets the usual comments of support, and then someone mentions that another of darla's fics appears to be stolen. Cue darla's friend, spikesbabyblues. Did you guys know stealing is okay if you admit it upfront?

Every plagiarist has an excuse. Darla's is I didn't steal it because I didn't write it! Okay then.

Apparently she commissions people to write sex scenes for her, which she then plugs into her stories. But in this instance, she doesn't remember who "wrote" it.

Also, she needs sex scenes in her fics otherwise people won't read them and then she won't get feedback and accolades for fic she didn't write! ...my head hurts.

Darla gets completely defensive and rather batshit here. She's the one who was screwed over. She wants her name cleared. The other accuser did her wrong because they didn't read the A/Ns first.

Kantayra has frozen the wankiest of the threads. But it's still a good read.

Oy. Their spelling...It burns.


UPDATE: Darla told Kantayra in IM that it was her sister who gave her the scene. You know, that person that she couldn't remember. *cough*

Kantayra gave her sister a chance to 'fess up, which "she" did. (Also? Ew.)

Darla and her sister/sockpuppet seem to share a connection, one knowing when the other had just sent Kantayra an e-mail.

Even more amazing, since supposedly they live in separate time zones.

Kantayra, not having been born yesterday, used the "time to face the music" post as an IP traceback.

Believe it or not, ya'll, the "sister" does not exist.

Oh, my faith in humanity, she is shaken.


Also, there's a discussion at the archive site where the screencaps came from here. I'm only about a third of the way through, no sign of the sister yet, though Darla insists over and over that the "enitre" fic is hers. *sigh* Thanks to slackerbitch for the link. (Look, ma, I'm crediting!)
